Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Saute onion and shallots until soft and translucent. Stir in garlic, ginger, lemon grass and curry powder. Cook for about 5 minutes, to release the flavours of the curry.

Stir in green pepper, carrots, mushrooms and tofu. Pour in vegetable stock and water. Season with fish sauce and crushed chillies. Bring to the boil, then stir in potatoes and coconut milk. When soup returns to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 40 to 60 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
